Higgie

You've also got the Sadowsky Pre-Amp/DI which I've found to be awesome, although I haven't tried any of the others. I get all my overdrive from other pedals so it wasn't a needed feature for me, or I would have looked at the MXR/Sansamp/Tonehammer instead. For me it's the Sadowsky DI all the way!

To answer the OP's original question - Some of it will be in Harlow tonight at "The Purple Emperor", if any Bass Chatters fancy popping along

Tim Minchin FTW!

[quote name='KevB' post='1299932' date='Jul 11 2011, 02:33 PM']To to get back to the OP's point I think someone hit the nail on the head early in the thread with 2 basses. One tuned to Eb tuning and the other in standard tuning for those songs where the guitarist has shifted back up a fret on a detuned guitar to effectively get back to standard tuning. As it was a tune specifically mentuioned, when I have to play SCOM at jam sessions it is always in C, that took a bit of getting used to![/quote] I've always had to play it in 'D' position, but with the bass tuned down a semi-tone. Had to learn it in 'C' for a gig the other week (bass still downtuned), it went perfect. Fast forward a couple of weeks, have to play it in 'D' again, and I can hardly remember it! That one took some quick thinking!

+1 to that. Certain songs like Slither or Hysteria by Muse will utilise open strings to sound it's best, and even when using the 5 I will downtune my E string for Slither. If it's a song where I just need the range, I will stay in whatever tuning and go from there, if it's something riff based which needs the open string like Slither, I will downtune to make it easier. All depends on the song IMO.

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='1297596' date='Jul 8 2011, 08:03 PM']what about a 3-letter acronym using your initals or something with sonic or audio or sound, etc. in the title? Pun on another name like Dross or Fxtronix? Hboss BassFace S'thing to do with your basses? groovemonkey funkmonkey metalhead, i'm out of ideas now[/quote] That's what I was thinking. Something to do with Sonic or Audio or something but I just can't find anything that I like! More brainstorming to be done I guess

Whenever I've had to learn songs in alternate tunings, the band just say learn, say "Summer of 69" in the key of D, and THEN downtune to Eb for the gig. Easy as pie. Granted at short notice it's a bit of a bugger to transpose while playing, but if you get used to the patterns, once you find the root it's easy from there! Useful skill to have, IMO.

Once I get a good printer I will be able to start making these graphics. I can't wait! Still struggling with a Brand name though. I only put "Jimbo's Custom Creations" on the SVT as a placeholder. Any suggestions??

As ET said, take the Line Out to your amp, then the normal XLR DI output to the Desk. I use the line out straight into the line in on my USB interface for recording. Works a treat!

Just designed the artwork for an SFT Clone I'll be building at some point in the future! All opinions and criticisms welcome!
